In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment


While the world is in the middle of a major economic event, the last two pieces of gear posted by Stereophile to their online site average $30K a piece.

If this doesn't make you feel like you belong to their target audience I don't know what will.

This review was certainly planned well before the crisis unfolded late February in the states.

-If it was not I personally do not read reviews of sub $1,000 gear with much interest.
-No I'm not buying a $30k amp or $32k standmounts either.
But those standmounts happen to be the best sounding speaker
I've ever heard. They were powered by this AAvik Amp

-Learning how Borressen made his Class D amp hold on in high frequencies was also something I was very interested in.
This Class D failing is what is holding back general acceptance.

Borressen is in the running as my "Most Admired" designer.


awarren poses an analogy which is pretty much the last word on why 
we need to drool. 
Well done sir!!

 Gulp,

It may be challenging to find the only standmount- B 01-I refer to as simply spelling the Borresen-Acoustic.com web site is a daunting task.

I cut and pasted this:

BØRRESEN 01
2 way Compact Monitor Loudspeaker

This 2 way speaker will tell the story, playing with unbelievable power, musical richness and ease.

The beautiful finish with walnut veneer is flawlessly crafted and flows lightly on its stand, making the 01 a desirable furniture in all modern homes.
